The state of Baja California, has an aggressive Tourism Attorney. They had jailed predatory Ensenada traffic cops years ago and the transitos stopped focusing on foreigners.
It may be of interest to note that in many Mexican cities, all passengers in a vehicle (your toad) must wear seat belts or the driver faces a six hundred peso (minimum) for each unbelted passenger.
The State office For Protection of Tourists, is located on the waterfront road, the malecon in Ensenada. They insist on the complainant furnishing, date, time, place, license plate or badge number. The office staff speaks extremely fluent English.
About three months ago a hysterically funny incident occurred with a pair of cops in Lazaro Cardenas* Baja California. The policia municipio stopped Canadian tourists "For Driving With Their Headlights On".
Outrageous. What the stupes did not realize was a Canadian lady was recording video and audio in high definition from the car and recorded the cops demanding (I forgot the amount but it was absurd). Yup, the State Office of Protection for Tourists saw the whole thing live and in color. The cops went to state prison. It made the Zeta newspaper, and others followed suit.
